Travels Through the Interior Parts of America

Thomas Anburey, 1789

[ANBUREY, Thomas (1759-1840).] Travels Through the Interior Parts of America. In a Series of Letters. By an Officer. London: William Lane, 1789.



First edition, untrimmed and unpressed with “handsome plates of Revolutionary America” (Reese). Anburey was an officer under General Burgoyne during the Revolutionary War and was captured at Saratoga. He was later shipped to Virginia, and his account, including his march to detention, was written in the form of seventy-nine letters. They are full of anecdotal adventures with many shocking and/or spurious observations on gender roles, Indian attacks, the status of Revolutionary veterans, plantation slavery, prisoners of war, etc. His accounts are sometimes plagiarized from Burnaby, Smyth, Kalm, and others. The large folding plates include views of military camps and battle locales of the Revolutionary War. Howes A-226; Lande 7; Reese, Revolutionary Hundred 88; Sabin 1366.



Two volumes, octavo (225 x 140mm). Half-titles. Engraved folding map hand-colored in outline (repaired closed stub tear); seven engraved plates, five of which are folding (a little marginal dampstain to the engravings), two leaves of currency facsimiles partially printed in red. Modern quarter calf over boards, red morocco spine labels, deckle-edges preserved.
